Attacked by an Alligator.

1t is seldom that Mississippi River
saurians, either through hunger or
anger become the aggressors and attack
human beings. But such a thing
occurred recently at Bruly Landing, in
the lower portion of West Baton Rouge
Parish, La. While little Maurice
Bergeron was shrimping in the river a
large alligator suddenly appeared near
him and made an effort to throw him
into the river, using its tail as a weapon.
Fortunately the blow, struck with ter
rible force, missed its mark and the boy
turned to run for his life. As he did so
the monster made savage rush at him.
Coming out of the water he seized
Maurice by the leg, inflicting slight
flesh wound and tearing off great
portion of the boys trousers. Before
the alligator could get a second hold on
the boy he had scrambled up the battue
and was out of danger. The alligator's
attack on the boy was witnessed by
several persons who, however, had no
time to intervene, so suddenly did the
affair take place

Useful Hints.

Boiling in strong soapsuds will clean
up an old lampburner and make it as
good as new.
Ash and other light wood floors are
frightened by wiping over with skinned
milk instead of water.
Oil stains may be removed from paper
by applying pipe clay powdered and
mixed with water to the thickness of
cream; leave on for four hours.
On ironing day, set aside the pieces
needing repairs and mend before putting
away. Keep the wearing apparel of each
member of your household where it can
be found by the owner without calling
for help in the search.
Intoa solution of gum arabic stir plas
ter of Paris until the mixture assumes
the consistency of cream; apply with a
brush to the broken edges of china and
Join together. In three days the article
cannot be broken in the same place.
A preparation much used in cleaning
silver is little powdered whiting mixed
to paste with water, to which a few
drops of ammonia has been added, OF
with alcohol. Polish with very soft linen
cloths, old flannel or a soft chamois skin.
Salt will sometimes remove obstinate
stains, such as those on egg spoons.
ANY reader who has old mahogany
furniture that has lost its lustre and needs
to be frightened up should first wash it
clean with warm water and wipe it per
fectly dry. Then apply mixture of
sweet oil and beeswaX with a soft cloth,
taking care not to use too much of the
mixture. Lastly, polish well with a
chamois.
An easy method of preserving cream
for several weeks, or even months, is to
dissolve in water an equal weight OF
white sugar with the cream to be pre-
served, using only just enough water to
melt the sugar, and make a rich syrup.
Boil this, and while hot add the cream,
stirring them well together. When cold
put it into bottle and cork it well.
A few forms for use in hanging up
clothes may be purchased at any hard
ware store for five or ten cents each, and
will keep garment presentable a great
deal longer than when it is hung upon a
nail or hook A mans clothes are almost
ruined by hanging in folds, and these
forms will preserve the shape of the
shoulders and keep out wrinkles.
The following is often used to take
scorch out Of clothes: The juice of two
lemons, half an ounce of fine white soap
shaved thin, two ounces of fuller's earth
and Il half pint of vinegar; boil all TO-
gether Lay the scorched article in the
sunlight and when the above mixture is
cool spread it over the scorched portion.
Let itdry, then wash and boil the article.
OF course if the fabric is so badly burned
as to injure and break the threads there
is no remedy.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1887-09-28

Mexico, Notwithstanding its republican
form of government, is very much of a
military despotism, and the general Off
GERS of the army naturally arrogate to
themselves a great deal of the authority
that is supposed to be vested in the
civil arm. A curious example of this
occurred in June of this year, when Gen
eral Ruiz proceeded by train to Chihua-
hau with couple of companies of sol
diers, with all their women, children,
and other field necessaries; at about
Jimenez the engine turned a somersault,
greatly to the indignation of the doughty
general, who, calling a corporals guard,
put the unfortunate engineer under in
slant arrest for having caused the acci-
dent The question in the Generals
mind was: 'What can we do with him ~
And it required all the calmer judgment
of his combined staff to pursuade him
that immediate execution" was not the
right answer.
